Job Responsibilities
Lead concept generation, mechanism design, detailed design, prototype development and technical problem-solving for robotic endoscope systems, subsystems and accessories
Translate user needs and system-level design inputs into measurable mechanical requirements, specifications, CAD models, drawings, BOMs and subsystem interfaces
Design critical endoscope mechanisms, such as distal-tip deflection assemblies, articulation wrists, insertion tubes, bending sections, working channels, high-precision linkages, control-handle mechanisms, seals and migration pathways
Create and review 3D CAD models, assemblies, 2D drawings, GD&T, tolerance-stack analyses, material specifications and component-level requirements
Develop and evaluate prototypes, plan engineering confidence tests and work with the Test Engineer to execute verification activities
Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA), cost, serviceability, reliability and supplier capability considerations from early concept selection through design release
Lead design reviews and contribute to Design FMEA, risk control definition, design-change impact assessments, failure analyses and CAPA investigations
Work with the Manufacturing Engineer on process feasibility, assembly methods, fixtures, design transfer and pilot builds
Maintain controlled design documentation, including design inputs/outputs, drawings, specifications, BOMs, test reports, vendor records and DHF deliverables
Provide technical mentorship to junior mechanical engineers, technicians and external suppliers
Follow Design Control for medical devices to ensure compliance with the company’s Quality Management System and ISO 13485
Perform other ad-hoc duties as assigned by the immediate supervisor
Job Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechatronics or a closely related engineering discipline (a master’s degree is advantageous)
6 years of mechanical design and development experience in regulated medical devices, including at least 2 years directly on technically complex endoscope design
Proven knowledge of DDC principles, statistical techniques, DFMA, DMAIC, DQE and IQ/OQ/PQ
Knowledge of manufacturing technologies and processes such as machining, injection moulding and extrusion
Excellent command of CAD software (Creo, SolidWorks or equivalent)
Strong knowledge of technical standards (ASME, JIS, etc.)
Experience in simulation software (Abaqus, Ansys, etc.) is an advantage
Experience in flexible shaft and bending section design, articulation mechanics, pull-wire routing, fatigue, friction and deflection response
Experience in small-scale mechanical assemblies, polymer and metal component selection, adhesives/bonding, interwelding, overwinding and winder
Familiarity with optical and fibre interfaces, including imaging/light-guide interfaces, working-channel geometry, irrigation/aspiration flow paths and leak prevention
Innovative design thinking and critical questioning, including reprocessing and sterilisation compatibility requirements
Cross-functional collaboration, including manufacturability at volume, cost targets, packaging interfaces and sterilisation compatibility
Excellent written and verbal communication for protocol authoring, report writing and cross-functional collaboration
Problem-solving mindset, with the ability to drive root-cause investigations and design improvements
